  • gamecolonies.blogspot.com...fo­llow links..play and win money!

  • Here is a fantastic music video that the Christian world will love! It's called "Don't forget about the walk." It was written and created by a small town pastor that is also making a feature film and has written four books. You don't want to miss it! You can go to his website by going to alanmakimusicDOTcom or search for Alan Maki on youtube. It would only take a second to look and I promise you wouldn't be let down. Look him up! He has wonderful devotionals and an app too!

  • at dca we said thank you so all the troops. we sang this song with passion and it made everyone stand and cry. that is how good DCA choir is!!!!!!!

  • The thought was "that is the true backbone of our country. God. Noone can shake Him or destroy Him."

  • Hi, my name is amy bruce, I am 7 years old. and I have severe lung cancer. I also have a large tumor from repeated beatings. Doctors say I will die soon if this isn't fixed, and my family can't pay the bills. The make a wish foundation, has agreed to donate 7 cents for every time this message is sent on. For those of you who send this along, I thank you so mutch, but for those of you who don't send it,what goes around comes around. Have a heart, repost this. NOT mine, it's noy bout song plz

  • @swaly12345 EN EL PODEROSO NOMBRE DE JESUS Y POR SUS LLAGAS RECIBE SANIDAD EN ESTE PRECISO MOMENTO,LE HABLO CON AUTORIDAD A ESE CANCER QUE SES CONSUMA EN ESTE INSTANTE.Y QUE EL NOMBRE DE NUESTRO SEÑOR Y SALVADOR JESUCRISTO SEA EXSALTADO.QUE ASI SEA AMEN

  • How did this song get all mixed up with religion and Christianity? Look at the lyrics...it is about patriotism, service and love of the United States through its flag (as a metaphor). Just because a Christian artist sings it doesn't necessarily imply a linkage. Just separating the message (song) from the messenger.

  • @grundyel "faithful friends"? "when you think it might be over" "when the fight is gone" "someone will risk their life to save them"(God) it is a christian song. When you feel like you have no fight left you start to give up, the one who will save them is God. Its talking about how someones giving up and that you can always look to God to get you through it. I mean yes it is talking about patriotism but there is a linkage.

  • I just bet you wish you had 100th of the "cheesy and empty sentimentality" talent that Michael W. Smith has!

  • Wow, the cheesiness and empty sentimentality of this song is off the charts!

  • President Bush urged Michael to write this great song.

  • I wish people would stop equating religion with patriotism. I love my country and I'm also an Atheist.

  • @ImmortalSpirit1 I love God, but I hate religion. 

  • @TheSilentKey Its a way of life. If you hate it then you hate God also. It says so in the bible. God bless <3

  • @killahkatrina No... God isn't religion. O_o

  • @TheSilentKey I know that. Ah I see what your saying now. Lol, I'm sorry. What I was thinking last night was you hate his commandments and all that. Thats what I was saying. x]

  • @killahkatrina It's okay x)

  • @TheSilentKey Yay ! :D

  • @ImmortalSpirit1 our countries roots are all based on the morals of Christianity. our government is getting more and more corrupt because we are straying more and more away from these morals.

  • Eu gostei muito do dessa musica como se fosse o próprio Deus fanado comigo

    senti mto a presença de Deus obrigado Por ser benção na vida de mtos.

  • Linda canção do pai pra vc.

  • "The Virgin Daughter of Zion despises and mocks you. The Daughter of Jerusalem tosses her head as you flee. Who is it you have insulted and blasphemed? Against whom have you raised your voice and lifted your eyes in pride? Against the Holy One of Israel! By your messengers you have heaped insults on the Lord. But I know where you stay and when you come and go and how you rage against me. Because you rage against me and because your insolence has reached my ears, I will put my hook in your nose

  • Sri Lanka and the United States may not see eye to eye on certain issues; however in true Sri Lankan grace, we pay our respects and sympathy’s with the families for the events that occurred 10 years ago and hope NO Country ever has to go through acts of sabotage or terrorism in any manner!

  • To all who lost their lives on 9-11 and to all who were left behind, May God Bless and protect you and may the Peace of Christ enlighten and be with you always.

  • May we never forget the American Spirit that carried us through such a dark time in our history. Lets live our lives with the same brave courage and hope as those who rushed into the fires of the unknown. May God be with the families who have known the loss of a loved one these past 10 years. Never Forget!

  • WOW. Very emotional song, we are truely blessed to live in the United States of America, God Bless us all and may we never forget, and unify as a nation, not just in times of trial and tragedy such as this, but always.

  • Eu gostei muito e vou coloca-lo nos meus Favoritos - Bjs !!!

  • When will the killing cease???? It continues on. Why can't there be better ways to solve issues? I enjoyed the video and song, thanks.

  • We will always remember them....

  • There She Stands! When will we as a people once again stand beside Her, hand in and, and with one voice, loud and clear and determined, Pledge our Allegiance to what it is the the SHE represents? One Nation UNDER GOD!

  • What a great song!!! Never forget 9/11. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!

  • What a beautiful song! No one who lived to see 9/11 will ever forget what happened. Nor will we ever forget where we were when we first heard the news or how we felt about it. This song just reminds me of how I felt at that time. But Michael W. Smith is right, we have triumphed as a nation. We are still here. And in the face of something so terrible we have become stronger.

  • This is a great video. I am a mom to three amazing children who proudly serve to defend and protect this nation. God bless the USA!!

  • @jmjdevotion thank you so much, and God bless your children.

  • @jmjdevotion God bless the whole world, as well as everyone in it,

  • I would likevery much to became your friend in Gacebook or in youtub. My nick name is Manuelabravo44. God bless you.

  • As the 10th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, God humbled us by bringing our country back to Him. God bless the 2,976 victims of the attack and their families. God bless the U.S.A.!

  • That is what makes America...America. We are free to choose what we believe.

  • Jesus Christ saved us first.:) Only through him will you truely be saved.:)

  • sounds like a southpark parody

  • Comment removed

  • a love from Latvia..thiss song is so fantastic..!!!!God bless ass....!!!!!!!J.M.

  • Thank you, Michael, for this beautiful song and for giving honor not only to the flag and the freedom it represents but also to all the military who have sacrificed so much to keep this country and others free! We need to keep this nation "under God" and remember who blesses America, we are nothing without Him.

  • Rocky Pirate Radio......................

  • Love this song. I even have a WMV of this that i put together on my vids. But Thank you Michael for making this song. Let us pray God watches over our troops thoose who are gave their lives for us, those who are home with us and those over seas.

  • Wake Up!

  • infowars.com

  • for once, there's actually a Christian preview on Vevo under a Christian video. :) Yay! Luv it,

  • The only weapon that turns hate and changes lives is Love. God is Love! Nobody has ever gotten saved or made changes in their lives by having someone beat them over the head with a Bible or pointing fingers of judgment. LOVE! Love is all it takes and love is what you need. GOD IS LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!

  • this is how my dad felt when I moved over 1200 mioles away. My dad is my whole world...He can do no wrong...Love you Daddy

  • Beautiful song. We are so blessed to live in the Land of the Free and the Home of the BRAVE!!! I haven't forgotten the evil that attacked us on 9/11.

  • God Bless you brothers and sisters! In USA, China, Canada, Africa, Zimbabwe, everyone everywhere! Here's an encouraging verse for those who are going through hard times right now. It helped me through a tough time - Romans 5:3-5. Have mercy on each other. Love the ones who don't love you. Bless those who persecute you. Remember Jesus.

  • God bless the U.S.A.! Simeon 101

  • Just in case anyone is wandering, Micheal is talking about MOTHER MERICA AND LADY LIBERTY. Not an actual person. I will always remeber the way i felt that day and how surreal and frightening it was. "She will always stand tall as long as America stands for freedom, but always remember FREEDOM NEVER COMES FREE!" Ronald Reagan. WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

  • An amazing and powerful song God Bless America

  • Rememberence for 9/11

    this song is choice

  • Since ever i like all your songs, from somehow somehere , place in the sun until now....you really have a warm voice....

    GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS....

  • Since ever i like all your songs, from somehow somehere , place in the sun until now....you really have a warm voice....

    GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS....

  • @GayWorldOrder America is a free and blessed nation but won't be for much longer when people like you have your way. Nothing you can ever do or say can compare to what awaits us in heaven. I wish I could say I feel sorry for you, but I don't. You have chosen your life..and your eternity. Jesus Christ lives!

  • @Qbnman Instead of condemning and judging those who are different from yourself, why not try loving them and praying for them? We cannot change those who are like that, no matter how much we may wish we could. All we can do is hate the SIN, NOT the SINNER. That's what God did with us. "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that while we were yet SINNERS, Christ died for us." Romans 5: 8 KJV

  • @Qbnman America will be free so long as it's people believe in freedom. Condeming those who are different then you is not freedom - it's forced conformity to your views and religions. A Christian state would appear like freedom to Christian, but what of the others?  Are they not then prisoners or outcasts? How do you claim you are a free country when you can't even accept your neighbour based on a difference in belief?

    Gods word is truth, and truth has no place for hypocrits!

  • @Sysra how sad that your hatred for freedom of thought and America's permission of religions, including Christianity, has made you into such a bitter, hypocritical, bigot.

  • @kwlancaster1804 Right so me, being against someone who is basically saying f u to someone else because they're gay is being against freedom? Freedom is NOT about denying others their right to choose which life style they want. Freedom is accepting what they do and leaving it at that. I accept gays because I believe that God's word is truth - not mine. And God accepts EVERYONE.

    Check John 3:16 - it doesn't say "just the straight people".

  • @Qbnman God doesn't make mistakes.

  • @GayWorldOrder God still loves you. And not all Christians are homophobic. We love them as God loves them. God loves everyone and so should we. And you are not truly free. You basically belong to satan and are on his side rather than the guy who actually loves you. satan does not care about you, he wants to hurt you. God does not. When bad things happen I believe that it is satan trying to pull you away from God, but also God testing your faith.

  • @GayWorldOrder I feel sincerely sorry for you. You don't even realize the great love the God has for everyone!! He even loves you despite the evil things you say. Freedom is NEVER free, we must all pay the price for voicing our beliefs. That is what those men did for YOU! Men gave up their lives so that you can proudly say you are a citizen of the greatest country in the world. But anyone who can say such hurtful things truly needs prayers. And I will pray for you and your conversion every day.

  • @rdblue42

    Well, I do appreciate the thought, but it amazes me how serious some of you people take everything people say and let it affect you so deeply.

    Life is one huge sex-party, why are you letting my carefree gay life get you down?? I'm not letting your 'godly burden' get me down...what you say to me matters not, I expect you to feel the same way, life is too short for cares!

    I do appreciate your reply nevertheless..

    You are a very kind and deep person, at least we share one commonality! :)

  • @GayWorldOrder That is one thing you're very wrong about...life is worth so much more than just a mere sex-party. And i do wish that you would take some of the things I said to heart--- not to hurt you or burden you in any way ( you're right life is too short for cares), but when you know and love God the way I do, you realize just how free you can be. I only say this to you because I really do care about people like you and I want to help. But thank you for your kind response. God Bless you.

  • @GayWorldOrder

    People like you get on my nerves when it comes to religion. Your words are hurtful and full of spite when it comes down to what people choose to believe in. You chose to be an Atheist, do you think I care? People choose to be Christian, Buddhist, Islamic, Jewish, etc. and do others care? No. I could give a damn if you're gay, or Godless, or free, but when it comes down to saying someone should die in a fire(or die period) because of what they believe is wrong and uncalled for.

  • I have been a fan of Michael's for decades and I believe that this song is one of his best masterpieces.It just says it all.

  • you are never alone.God is with us always.good or bad,he remains.Believe and you are saved !! thank you JESUS

  • wow...can't believe it's been 9, almost 10 years....i was 7 turning 8 when it happened (so, i don't remember it...lol)

  • I actually like this song. i'm singing it for show choir&vocal. :)

  • I saw the this wonderful man in person..and cried through the entire song....

  • America is great because America is good. This was once said of our nation. Are we still good? Pres. John Adams: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." That tells our story today. Thank God for people like Michael W. Smith. His goodness helps remind us of where we should be, but where we are not.

  • She only stands as long as she remembers the God who graced her!

  • @inkypink100 But alas America has lost her greatness, and is being taken down by greed, selfishness, self -centerdness. It is very say to watch a once mighty nation disappear before my eyes. But It is all predained that in the last days all nations will rise up against Israel. In spite of The tight hold Satan has on this country I Love her still. May God Bless the USA.

  • @inkypink100  AMEN.

  • We need to stand. We need to remember who we are. We are America. We are the free, we are the brave. We need to stand when the anthem is sung. We need to stand when the Pledge of Alliance is sworn. We need to remember who brought us to our freedom. We need to remember those who can, will, do and have fought for this blessing. United we stand under God. We need to be America. We need to teach ourselves how to be America. We need to stand. We are America. We need to be America. God Bless the USA.

  • remembering 911 2001

  • I'm a Canadian, and I remember well the events of 9/11. May God bring peace to your country, and mine.

  • @1angel0777 Thank u!! May he bless ur country well

  • @1angel0777 Thank u!! May he bless ur country well and all counties

  • THANK YOU!

  • May God bless America and her people. Not for what she is, with so many turning from God, but for what she could be with so many others embracing God. He is more gracious and merciful to us as an American people and as individuals than any of us can possibly realize.

  • Tomorrow is September 11th. May we NEVER forget.

  • America is babylon!

  • Thank you, and God bless and keep you Michael. May the Lord continue to use you in His service. You are a gifted singer and songwriter and pianist! - Judy

  • Smitty, this your new album has Holy God ALL OVER IT. Keep going brother, no matter the obstacle And this song? Right on Jehovah God as they try and build their Mosque on Ground Zero in memory of satan Allah. You shall NEVER win satan. Keep going Smitty. I've sent your videos AROUND THE WORLD. Just as Holy God requests. Never give up. Never give in. Trust Yeshua...SON of the LIVING GOD.......

  • Hasn't anyone read the book of revalation? You probably think that I'm wrong saying this but it sounds like that the bible is saying that America is Babylon. Babylon isn't a place, it's a culture or religion. I'm don't want argue, but I just can't help but to notice this.

  • @HRbluetiger07 I believe you are 100% correct. Dr. Jack Vanimpe and Joseph Good teach that America is the "New Babylon" We fit the description. The one true God of Abraham Issac and Jacob Bless the U.S.A.

  • @rolk4009

    No We will not kill you, for burning The Flag! The flag by itself can do nothing.

    But with the grace of God, and the American People, it can save your life.

    American's are the Greatest of People, We ask for nothing not even your thanks. We only ask for God's Blessing!

    Michael you are a giant.

    May God Bless UUUUUUUUUUUUU, and the USA!

  • @IAMTHEWRECKER First Of All Americans are not the greatest people No one is WHY?, It seems you don't read the bible, God doesn't Make Exseption of people were the bible saids Americans are the Best???, The only greatest Is the all mighty God no one else, And a great people i think is who Seek God And Obey Him And not everyone does That, Thankyou!.

  • @rolk4009 All people are even in GODS eyes. AMERICA has a right to be proud...We are the BABY nation of the world. Are we better than others...No but we have done more for the world than ANYONE. I am not looking for conflict... but instead of everyone hateing us "Cant we all just get along?"

  • @megladon31 Yea maybe America has made better things or the biggest things in the world, but how many peolpe have the goverment Kill if they know a secret that the goverment hides that's a Great america Goverment i don't think so!!!...we have to be proud of our God not the nation the goverment doesn't give you food or money God is who give us everything we need...YOU ARE NOT SO ESPIRITUAL PERSON YOU LOOK MORE LIKE A MATIRIAL PERSON STUFF, GOD BLEESS YOUR, AND LIFE OPEN YOUR EYES!!!...

  • @megladon31 I think you misunderstand...I am proud of God and my country...NOT THE GOVERNMENT. As far as govs. killing people, It happens all the time. Govs all have their own agenda, usually fueled by greed. KGB, CIA, etc. What about the 16 year old girl in Iran who was raped by a man she knew and was deemed a whore for lack of a better word....

  • @megladon31 She was hanged while the man that raped her watched from the crowd of onlookers. So it does happen all over the world. As far as me being materialistic; that was a bad assumption.

  • @rolk4009 God tells us not to judge people and you are doing just that. You have no right to condemn ANY man!!! He is a good example of how we should support our country. The USA was founded on ideals of patriotism and fighting for what you believe in!!! That ideal will be forever held in our heart. Our flag stands for all those things we believe in.911 was not an accident, our people were MURDERED!!! HAVE A LITTLE MORE RESPECT FOR THOSE WHO DIED FOR YOU AND YOUR COUNTRY!!!!!!

  • @rdblue42 he says judge not lest ye be judged. those with out sin cast the first stone

  • Comment removed

  • @rolk4009 You are right that without God we could do nothing and our flag really CAN'T do anything. But it stands for everything we believe and the sight of people who are willing to die to raise it, gives people hope. And who are YOU to tear that down???!!! Every good deed needs faith AND works. We must have not only the faith in God to provide for us, but we HAVE to do a little of the work ourself!! We have to fight to defend our country and work to rid our world of Satan's evil grip!!

  • Wow!

  • "When evil calls itself a Martyr.......Smitty best lyric yet. Blessed song and if America doesn't come out of her slumber and they build the Mosque on Ground Zero...the AMERICAN ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION....without Holy God moving? All is lost. America....needs to get on HER KNEES.

  • That brought me to tears!!! That was such a beautiful song and video! It puts such a longing in me for our country to remember what made us so great..The men and women who sacrificed so greatly so we could be free..If only people could put aside the differences and accept others of every race and religion..

  • Do you have an example or are you labeling all Americans racists?

  • I'm blessed to be born in the greatest country in the world, able to live out the individual freedoms that GOD has given us. I will not apologize for American Exceptionalism, because there is not one country on this planet that has accomplished what the USA has in such a short history. And I want to Thank our Service Members for there willingness to put themselves in harms way, taking a stand for Freedom throughout the world. God BLESS AMERICA !

  • @aaaaa0000000000 Really?, so why does america hate people from south america and mexico?.

  • @rolk4009 Yes, please do give examples of these Americans that hate people from South America and Mexico

  • As always Michael, the Holy Spirit ALWAYS speaks through you. Just beautiful brother in Christ....and......Prepare Ye The Way of the Lord...My favorite of all time M.

  • sniff sniff this song makes me cry. cuz every time i hear it, i think of 9/11 and stuff

  • What a great song.

  • Classic MWS! Classic American! Wonderfully patriotic.

  • Only fools would take a simple patriotic video about the American flag and what she represents and turn it into a political argument. This song and video was done shortly after 09/11/01 and expressed the sentiment of (almost) the entire nation at the time. To say it is anything more or less is to rewrite history.

  • @difulp Exactly right...some people are just looking for reasons to be upset and make themselves and others miserable. It's pitiful we are even having to have this conversation.

  • Wow! Awesome song. God, please keep Your hand on our country!

  • Yup...all I'm seeing here is a "tribute" song...not a 'pro-war" Pro-bush song. It just says what so many other patriotic songs inspire...that through all our perils and trials ...."There She stands".... anyone who is reading anything else in it...is just an agitator/bush hater...and grasping at straw.

  • I love this song and video. I am a Christian first and an American second, but God blessed us with this nation and it's abundant resources and freedoms. He inspired the Founding Fathers to fight religious tyranny and persecution and to write the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution. We have been given the duty to protect our nation and what God has blessed us with.

    Thank you and God Bless you Michael W Smith and all of our brave men and women who serve this country proud!

  • @swstryker Amen!!!

  • If a loud trumpet summons soldiers to war, shall not Christ with a strain of peace issued to the ends of the earth gather up his soldiers of peace? By his own blood and by his word he has assembled an army which sheds no blood in order to give them the Kingdom of Heaven. The trumpet of Christ is his Gospel. He has sounded it and we have heard it. Let us then put on the armour of peace. The Church is an army of peace which sheds no blood. (Protrepticus XI, 116)

  • @eric710221 Amen

  • I cry every time i watch this

  • I love this song. I cry every time I hear it!

  • @mamaschristmasbunny you reallly need to brush up on your bible lessons 777 is 100% correct. you just think you know more then everybody else and are a pompus bitch

  • @tayloroleson "pompus bitch"? Gee how Chistian.

  • @mamaschristmasbunny You are no Christian. Wars are brutal, but sometimes they are necessary. For example, we would never have won our independence if not for the American Revolution, and we'd have never abolished slavery without the civil war, or gotten rid of evil beings like Hitler without World War II.

  • @777godisgreat U are speaking the truth

  • ive lost some good friends during this war

  • If Americans don't wake up *quickly* she will no longer stand. The blood of our ancestors will have been spilled for nothing. *Restricted* and *limited* Federal Government is what made America great. Not Social Programs and give aways. Please Wake Up America! For God's Sake Wake Up!

  • I'm not sure how many people know this but Michael W. Smith is friends w/ the Bush Family and George W. asked him to write a 9/11 tribute song and this is the result

  • no shit but its a great song tho

  • Comment removed

  • very nice video!

    i'm a big bigger biggest fan of Michael W. Smith since i was in elementary.
